Hello Poison Friends! We've managed to get through Marburg so now it is time to discuss Ebola. There are six ebola viruses out there, three of which are most commonly seen infecting humans and we need to cover the similarities in symptoms to Marburg as well as a few differences. For one, Ebola is typically deadlier (especially Zaire Ebola Virus). We are going through the short history of the disease (compared to say, Smallpox) and the first few cases seen in humans. These cases led to outbreaks of what then was a new virus with horrifying symptoms leading to high numbers of casualties and those attempting to treat it in rural African communities had no idea how it spread or how to stop it.

Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters! Please feel free to leave a comment or send us a DM for any questions, suggestions, or just to say, "hi."
